Bug Description

[SRU Justification]

[Impact]

IBM released a "Special Considerations" entry for Ubuntu images [0], so to
enable support for NVMe drives attachment. The aim here is not to have any
special considerations whatsoever, and enable any functionality right upon
image creation/instance deployment.

Thus move the vmd module to the linux-modules package (it is currently
included in the linux-modules-extra one).

[0] https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vpc?topic=vpc-bare-metal-image#bare-metal-images-ubuntu-considerations

[Test Plan]

Check resulting linux-modules and linux-modules-extra packages.

[Where problems could occur]

No potential problems are expected.

[Other Info]

None.

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-ibm/5.4.0-1030.34 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-done-focal'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-failed-focal'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
